Description
The Paiste 2002 line has been shaping the sound of rock drumming since 1971, and this 20″ Medium Crash carries that legacy forward. Crafted from CuSn8 bronze — the signature “2002 Bronze” alloy — it delivers a bright, warm tone with the strength and clarity that made these cymbals a staple on stages and in studios alike.
At medium-heavy weight, this crash produces a fairly washy stick sound with lively intensity and medium-long sustain. The bell character stays integrated into the overall voice rather than cutting through separately, giving the cymbal a cohesive, musical response whether you’re hitting it hard or playing with more restraint.
Its wide dynamic range makes it equally at home in medium-soft passages and full-volume live settings, holding up well against loud amplified stages while still translating cleanly on recordings. The tone is even and responsive across the surface, with a full-bodied character that lets it double as a functional ride when needed.
